The Parramatta Eels are set to undergo significant changes as they look to replace departing players for the 2025 season. Incoming head coach Jason Ryles is eyeing two potential recruits to bolster the squad: Gold Coast Titans halfback Tom Weaver and South Sydney Rabbitohs backup Dean Hawkins. Both players are currently on the outer at their respective clubs and could benefit from a fresh start, though neither would immediately slot into the starting lineup at Parramatta, where Mitchell Moses and Dylan Brown are both contracted through 2025.
Despite this, there has been recent speculation regarding the futures of Moses and Brown. Reports suggest that Moses may be unhappy with his current situation, while Brown has not committed long-term to the Eels, leaving open the possibility of exploring other options. Even with these uncertainties, the Eels are already facing a roster shake-up. They have lost junior Origin player Ethan Sanders to the Canberra Raiders and are expected to see Daejarn Asi depart, with a potential move to England on the horizon.
The potential recruitment of Weaver and Hawkins is part of Parramatta’s broader strategy to navigate these changes. Weaver, who has struggled to secure a regular spot in the Gold Coast side due to competition from players like Kieran Foran and Jayden Campbell, is seen as a valuable backup option. Similarly, Hawkins, who was once a contender for South Sydney’s number seven jersey but now seems set to be replaced by Lewis Dodd, is also a candidate for the Eels. The decision on whether the Eels will pursue one or both players remains uncertain, but it’s clear that both are looking for opportunities where they can have a more prominent role.
As the Eels prepare for a significant transition, they will also be evaluating other potential additions, including rugby union player Carter Gordon, who could impact the squad’s dynamics. The final decisions on the team’s roster and new signings will be crucial as Parramatta aims to build a competitive team for the upcoming season.
